Main field: Photonics.
Compulsory for: MFOT1
Elective for: E4-fh, F4, F4-f
Language of instruction: The course will be given in English
The course aims at providing knowledge about basic as well as advanced techniques for manipulating and controlling laser light and laser pulses. This involves controlling intensity, frequency distribution, temporal profiles in order to design advanced optical systems for specialised tasks in industry as well as research.

For a passing grade the student must
Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must
Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must
have an ability to design and evaluate optical methods that can be used for developing new technology, methods and systems.
Two laboratory exercises: Non-linear optics, Ultrafast optics.
Grading scale: TH - (U,3,4,5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: Written exam (The regular exam will be a written exam, re-examination can be either oral or written). Compulsory laborations with written reports. Project.
The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.

Further information: The course is part of a series of three courses (FAFF01, FAFN01 and FAFN10). This course (FAFN10) can be taken first but it is an advantage to have passed the course FAFF01 Optics and optical design first.
It is mandatory to attend the first lecture in order to be admitted to the course.
